…this quarter’s losses [52,000 subscribers] were stark for DirecTV, which lost customers for the first time ever, and for Time Warner, who lost customers for the tenth straight quarter and lost more than analysts expected. Comcast’s loss of 169,000 customers was actually an improvement over previous quarters. The losses were chalked up more to the economy rather than “cord-cutters” dropping TV service entirely.

You got the usual line: blah blah cord-cutting doesn’t exist blah blah once people have jobs we’ll get our subscribers back blah blah. And some were just switching services: Verizon’s FiOS and AT&T U-Verse added 275,000 subscribers. On the other hand, Time Warner Cable found that it somehow had 59,000 more Internet subscribers.

In other words, nothing to see here, we’re still relevant, there are no problems, we are still at war with Eastasia, move along.

The reason there is an incerase in their overall internet subscribers is the simple fact that most people realize that in our modern, technology driven world you no longer need cable to watch your favorite moves, shows, or programs. All you need is an internet connection, some know how, and alot of free time.
